The news item relates to the letter sent by the Gambling Commission on 4 January 2018 to all online casino operators licensed by it, raising concerns about the sector’s approach to anti-money laundering and social responsibility and setting out the actions the remote casino sector is required to take with immediate effect. David is quoted as saying about that: “I am not the slightest bit surprised that this has happened now. Indeed, if I am surprised at all, it is that it has not happened before now. Whilst responsible operators have been working hard to improve their anti-money laundering and social responsibility controls over the last three or four years, too many others – including operators who came through the transition licensing process in 2014 – have taken an unrealistically optimistic view that the Gambling Commission may not direct its regulatory focus against smaller operators”.
